Worked all day on the gown. Had a little trouble with this one. The doll was different than the first. Had to do some plastic surgery on her. haha Didn’t use the button hole attachment like I originally planned. It did turn out nice. I took some pictures, but they are a bit blurry. The ones from the first gown are nicer. You can refer to them. Thanks!

Second christening gown.
Posted in Uncategorized on January 9, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Started working on the second christening gown ordered in Dec. 2010. Cut all the pieces, and got them serged. Just need to start sewing. Going to make this one a little different. Want to make actual button holes, instead of using snaps. Let’s see if the button hole attachment works the way I am hoping. If this one turns out as nice as the first, I will be really pleased. I think my customer will be as well.

The velvet curtain.
David and I working as a team.
Worked at my customers house today on a project we started in her garage back in Oct 2010. We are making lots of progress, and they are pleasantly pleased with my work. This has been a “custom” job, to say the least. Very time consuming. Challenging, but it is looking really nice.

I am having a roommate starting Dec. 1, 2010. The room could use a new curtain on the closet. Something a little less fem. I bought some neutral fabric, and spun a new curtain. I think it turned out nice. Check it out.
Hockey Jersey, 3rd prototype

This is the third prototype jersey. The last one was just not right. I made the adjustments he asked for. Used a couple of different stitches, and finished it off all the way around
. I hope this works. What a learning experience this has been.
Recent practice projects.

This is the latest practice, just for the heck of it, projects I have done. Been finding very interesting fabric @ Thrift Town recently. So cheap, and all kinds of experimenting will happen.
So many projects, so little time!
If you interested in the shorts, or colorful bra type top, they are for sale. You can contact me, and we can discuss it. Thanks.

Heating ducts to cover
More heating ducts.
Even more heating ducts!!
I received an email today, asking me if I could make a curtain to cover heating ducts in a garage. I responded with a “yes”, and a quote. I then was asked to come to the residence, and check out the “complete” project. I ran up the hill, and was surprised at the scale of the project. I chatted with the customer for some time. We exchanged ideas, and I agreed to do the job. Raised my quote, and told her I would be happy to bring my machines, and any tools I felt I needed to do the job. This one is custom, on location. We agreed to go shopping for fabric the next day. That worked out well. Found some nice, fairly cheap fabric that would fit the bill. Check out some of what I was up against. This one is going to be a challenge, and take some time.
